Food is great with choices for everyone. The corned beef was excellent and the cheesy grits were awesome. The Bloody Marys are ok and taste fresh, but are not up to Luciles or Snooze standards. Meanwhile, the mocha takes us back to Rocky Mountain Joe's level of goodness. One warning -- our first text arrived confirming being on the waitlist, but not the second when our table was ready. We learned no one will stick their head out the door to check for you but will instead pass you over and later argue it's your fault for ignoring the non-existent text. Better to check with the front periodically instead of relying on tech. read more

Stopped in for brunch yesterday morning and could not have imagined a better experience. Chris, the manager, seated our group immediately and took the time to talk us through everything the area had to offer as we were visiting. He was so helpful that our group affectionately now refers to him as the Mayor of Boulder. Our waitress was equally as pleasant and the food was great-- especially the crepes! Highly recommend making this a stop whether you're a local or tourist. read more

Unique artwork and street seating to enjoy. As for the food..its pretty basic nothing stood out my chicken fried eggs Benedict had a broken holiday sause and the muffin it was on was wet. The hashbrowns were burnt. The staff was sweet and fun but also gave us lemons with there hands, gross.. read more

Foolish Craig's Cafe - Fried chicken Benedict - Creperies Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

My daughter swears it was the best burger she's ever had. Chicken and waffles was also good. Great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!! read more

I was seated immediately right around lunch time. I ordered a signature Bloody Mary with their house mix and bacon. It tasted a it off at first, but after letting it sit for a couple minutes all the ingredients did their work and it was quite good... I have a high standard for a good Bloody Mary and many places fall well short. For food I ordered the breakfast tacos with chorizo. In retrospect I should have added tomato, onion, and maybe lettuce with them. They were pretty tasty and the hot sauce on the side had good flavor. The black beans that came with it were typical, but the potatoes were prepared perfectly. The space is neat and fits right in with the overall Boulder feel. read more

The food here is excellent! I had the Whole Thing Crepe and my husband had Fried Chicken Benedict. The service was quick and polite. The coffee was wonderful and my husband had a spicy bloody he liked too. I highly recommend trying this local establishment over Snooze since you can try that chain anywhere :) read more

So good! A fun atmosphere and the food was incredible. Portions are large and mimosas are tasty! They let you do the online waitlist, which is super convenient. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive! read more

I grew up in the big city, this place reminds me of that. I would not say that this place is a greasy spoon, but If you are looking for fancy dining, you may not like this place at all. The service for us was genuinely friendly and helpful while moving at the their fast pace due to being very busy. The food was tasty and served accurately and cooked well within a reasonable amount of time . I have found a new breakfast spot when visiting boulder !! read more

Great breakfast. Really fresh ingredients. I had not been here in a long time and forgot how good it is. Service was quick and friendly! The pork green Chile was a great add on to my Hooey. read more

Great brunch in downtown Boulder!! Glad we walked by the big breakfast place next door to come here!! Loved the decor and homey feeling inside with the local Art hung for everyone's enjoyment. The food was huge in servings so we split a plate amongst us two. read more

First time eating here and was very pleased! We were able to sit down outside without any wait. My boyfriend ordered the corned beef hash, which he really enjoyed, and I ordered the crab cake Benedict. The yolk in the Benedict could have been a bit more runny, but the food still tasted amazing and the service was great! Everyone was very friendly! I absolutely recommend this spot for breakfast, and the lunch menu looked good as well! read more

Foolish Craig's Cafe - Corned Beef Hash and Crab Cake Benedict. Both were great! - Creperies Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I came here when in Boulder last year with my parents after looking for places to go for brunch. I had Snooze in mind, but this place seemed like a good fit since my father's name is Craig. In fact, on a Friday afternoon it was quite busy while Snooze looked empty. I did love Snooze when I went there a few months later in Phoenix, but this place is special since it is a local independent restaurant versus a chain. We started with sharing the Warm Brie that had a delicious apple topping. Then we shared three entrees. One was a crepe named after Homer Simpson (The Homer D'Oh) that had amazing hot fresh vegetables wrapped by a delicious crepe called Duxelles. We also had an omelette that was truly yummy (can't find it on the menu or remember the name). However, our favorite was the featured item on Diners, Drives, and Drive-In's, the Butter Rum Caramel Crepe Cale which is to die for! I would certainly recommend to anyone visiting Boulder. read more

Excellent brunch! Especially the eggs benedict. Old school Boulder restaurant worth going back to over and over again. Laid back atmosphere, excellent service, and even better food. read more

Skip Snooze next door if you're a late riser like us. (Or if you want to pay a visit to a unique local's joint vs a chain.) Craig's has some really great eggs and crepes, and the waitstaff were super pleasant. Be warned although, the portions are pretty big, I hardly made a dent in my Foolish huevos! read more

Stumbled over here after not wanting to wait for the line at snooze. After that first visit, this place became our go-to. Food has always been great, and love that it feels more like a "locals" kinda vibe read more

Located on the famous Pearl street in Boulder, CO. We went for lunch and were not disappointed. The seating was quick and the service spectacular. The BLT's were fantastic and the pulled pork sandwich was the Bomb!! The place has such great energy and ambiance! My daughter said that she could see herself working there as a waitress. read more

The food was good and the staff was friendly, can't ask for more then that. The bloody Mary was on point. We were in Boulder for a football game and decided to try this place out. They were pretty busy, but they handled it very well. read more

My brother-in-law took us here while we were out in CO visiting. He really talked highly of Foolish Craig's so I had very high expectations. Let me just tell you IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! It is a pretty small place but the personalities and the friendliness of the staff are exponential. Our waitress (I really wish I had gotten her name) found out that some of us were from out of town and took the time to recommend some areas to visit. Now - the food...we all scarfed up our food like we hadn't eaten in weeks. I ordered the southern breakfast (ya know - being from VA and all) and it was SO SO good. The gravy was so flavorful and the portion of food was great! If I lived closer this would be at least a monthly thing for me. I guess for my wallet and waist lines sake it is a good thing I live so far way! Will definitely be back on my next trip to CO. Thanks y'all!!! read more

A fun and quirky brunch. They were super accommodating to us and so sweet. Lots of younger kids working but they were so great! The Rueben was great, and the avocado toast was a great portion. Everyone was so satisfied! read more

Solid place for brunch. Coffee was great, fresh and strong. We ordered the duxelles mushroom crepe. Very savory and delicious. The crab cake appetizer was also very tasty with the chipotle sauce. Besides the food, my favorite part was sitting outside on a beautiful day. They provide a nice atmosphere to soak up the beautiful Colorado sun. read more

Awesome food, and great atmosphere. We ordered the corned beef hash, omelette, and biscuit and gravy. All were great.

I really wanted to love the place. We came one day because the line at Snooze was absurd and wanted to try something new. I love the feel and the funky paintings on the walls. We got the biscuits & gravy. They came out cold and didn't have much flavor at all. We ended up pouring tons of salt and pepper on the gravy that was way too thick. The millionaires bacon was pretty tasty but I've had better. I got the strawberry banana pancakes. It was just a pile of pancakes with strawberries and bananas in a pile on the side. The pancakes needed some flavor. The strawberries & bananas were probably my favorite part of the meal. Boyfriend got the French toast and it was average. Definitely get the real maple syrup because the other stuff is separated and as runny as water. Coffee was ok. Boyfriend got an iced americano that he really liked. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be coming back. read more

Craig's menu seems to have tripled in size since I've left, and the quality is not what I remembered it to be... nor is the service. Our waiter seemed to be aggravated by the fact that we weren't ready with our order the minute we sat down... yeah sorry about that. Then halfway through the meal he comes and puts the check on the table... classy. The fuhgeddaboutit crepe was decent, as was the black bean burger. However, I'd say, go back to your southern roots. My beloved cajun catfish sandwich was nowhere to be seen. Oh and get yourself some better waiters. 3 stars for nostalgia. read more

Foolish Craig's Cafe - The black bean burger - Creperies Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

A staple in Boulder. The menu is all the good eats, tasty food, good drinks, reasonably priced and super nice staff. We love this place!

We stopped into this place because Mountain Sun was packed. We should've ignored our grumbling tummies and been more patient. Love that place. Anyway - Since we saw that Foolish Craig's had decent reviews on Yelp and was featured in DDD, we decided to give this place a shot. Needless to say, we left feeling like suckers. We were seated reasonably quickly here but our waitress was slow and inattentive. That didnt put my boyfriend and me in the greatest of moods since we were already hungry from doing a hike in the morning. My bf ordered the chicken soup to start and the black bean burger w/ sweet potato fries. I ordered the BLT w. Guac & the spinach salad. I thought the food was average and the BLT was just fine. Nothing to write home about, but the quality wasn't really the problem. The waitress had put us in a bit of an annoyed mood as 1. she didn't bring the soup out first. It came with the entree. Wuh? Who eats a soup while their main course gets cold? 2. Once the food was delivered, she only checked on us when we were nearly finished with our meal. Anyway, when you have great restaurants within walking distance, I would've expected better service, but now I know the reason why Mountain Sun was so ridiculously packed and this place, just a few doors down, wasn't. We won't be returning. read more

I wanted breakfast at 11a and wanted to eat at Snooze but there was a 35 min wait so I came over and there was no wait. Sweet! I ordered the Foolish Craig since after all crepes are their specialty. The thing was gigantic - probably good enough to feed 3 people! There was so much bacon..mm bacon! It was good but way too much! I asked for a box and took it home that day. I later heated it up and it was just ok this time. I'm guessing crepes aren't that great for reheating. I wish I would've tried a dessert crepe. Prices were fair and I was out of there in 30 minutes! read more

Full disclosure: I did not have a full meal here, only dessert. In an attempt to knock another DD&D location off the list, we stopped here for dessert while on a day trip to Boulder during a long weekend in Denver. Foolish Craig's is the quintessential Boulder place, in my opinion: cool, quirky, laid back, interesting... I had The Whole Thing Crepe, which consists of walnuts, nutella, chocolate and banana.... AMAZING. The eclectic decor tried to come home with me when a small plastic toy frog that was stuck high up on the wall attempted suicide and bombed the table. Accidental souvenir! The other eclectic thing about Foolish Craig's was the clientele. There was everyone from families to couples, obvious tourists to obvious locals, and a table or two full of upstanding young gentlemen obviously nursing hangovers. The next time I'm in the area I'll definitely stop by for a full meal. I ended up much more impressed with our dessert locale than the lunch spot we picked first! Insert cheesy line about Craig not being so Foolish...? Sorry. read more

Foolish Craig's Cafe - "The whole thing" crepe - Creperies Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

In Boulder for the day and decided to use my trusty Mobile App to look up all my bookmarks in Boulder to see where we might eat. I wanted to eat here for breakfast but they had a big wait, so we went elsewhere for breakfast and who knew, we came back for dinner with no wait and even got to sit on the patio for some people watching. For those of you that are unaware Foolish Craigs was featured on DDD's with Guy trying there crepe-tastic items. Check it out - http://www.foolishcraigs.com/foolish-craigs-featured-on-food-network/ We definitely wanted to save room for dessert, no no appetizer, entrees only. My Mom had the Chicken Duxelle Crepe that had chicken, portabella and button mushrooms, garlic, shallots with a tomato cream sauce. It came with a side of broccoli and rice. The crepe was a large size and stuffed to the max with all the tasty ingredients. The broccoli was fresh and has a nice crispiness to it. The rice was meh, not worth writing about - they should think about making a different side. Fantastic crepe, makes me want to get one the next time. I had the BLT Guacamole, who wouldn't like guacamole on their sandwich. It was made with their house made wheat bread, tons of crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and guacamole with fries. The sandwich was large and topped mile high with all the best ingredients. The fries were plentiful and had a nice crisp texture, not soggy at all. I wouldn't say we saved room for dessert but we got one anyway. We decided on the Whole Thing Crepe which has walnuts with nutella chocolate and banana. The crepe came with what must have been a half a cup of walnuts. This combination is amazing and totally worth the price, the walnuts alone were worth $6, everything else was just gravy. Happy Hour, $3 wells drinks was great and we both enjoyed a drink for a great price. Service was pretty good, and the wait staff was very knowledgeable about the menu which helped a lot for a Yelper with a few questions. This is a great Boulder food destination with some history. If you're coming for breakfast anticipate a pretty long wait similar to Snooze. read more

I had a business meeting in Boulder this morning so I searched Yelp for a cool looking local place for breakfast........boy did I knock it outta the park! I had the first real corned beef hash I have had in years, it was epic. Cheese grits in COLORADO?!!!! Incredible. There are a gazillion breakfast places in a big college town like Boulder........but this place is at the top of the heap. It's a cant miss place for a true foodie! read more

Foolish Craig's is a Boulder staple. It's down to earth with really good food and good service. It's not tragically hip; just well made food in decent sized portions served by friendly people. They have survived the onslaught of "hip" restaurants by being very good at what they do. It'll always be one of my go-to Boulder places. read more

My go-to for breakfast and lunch while in Boulder. The Greek scramble is delightful and the Bloody Mary's the most scrumptious!

Eh. I was really underwhelmed with Foolish Craig's. I remember it being good the few times I went in college, but our experience a few days ago was just not delicious at all. I ordered to Fahgeddaboudit crepe, and at $9.50 I wish I had gone to the grocery store and cooked breakfast instead. The eggplant in the crepe was deep fried, and then probably cooked again, and maybe refrigerated. It was the chewiest, driest vegetable I have ever encountered. The "marinara" that topped the crepe was more like canned, cooked, diced tomatoes. The crepe itself was thick and also dry, bordering on crunchy. The potatoes that came with the crepe were again dry (notice a theme?) and COLD and tasteless. Salt, pepper, ketchup and hot sauce could not save my meal. Our server was very nice. That's pretty much the only saving grace. My husband got the egg sandwich which he described as boring and... dry. read more

I admit that I didn't order these famous crepes, but I was expecting the rest of the menu to be 4 stars too. The crab cake appetizer was pretty decent, and didn't skimp on the crab, but the loaded fries were pretty disappointing. The shredded meat and green chillies were tasteless, there was too much cheese, and the fries were soggy. The two perks were: 1) The happy hour menu (3-6pm M-F and 5pm-close Sunday), and 2) We ate someplace that had been filmed on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. read more

I ordered from this restaurant via Uber Eats and apparently the Uber Eats drivers stole my meal TWICE! Since it was picked up twice and never delivered. The owner of the restaurant called me to sincerely apologize and to let me know that he was coming to deliver my meal himself. The chicken and waffles were delicious! The chicken was juicy and crispy, and the waffles were fluffy. Highly recommend this restaurant for it's great food and excellent customer service as well. read more

Meh. The atmosphere was cool & we were excited to eat here as we just got into town after a 5am flight & this was our first meal. Good looking menu with lots of variety to keep the family happy. Unfortunately everyone unanimously agreed the food was disappointing. Wife had breakfast, me & the boy had a burger. Everything was really over cooked & there were some small things missing on one of the entrees (cheese, eggs not cooked to order). Telling when a 14 y/o says the "burgers not that great". Serve staff was friendly but not super attentive. On a positive the iced coffee was really good. As long as you keep your expectations low, it's one of the choices along the strip there. read more

I can't say enough about this place. The atmosphere is cozy and fun. The portions are large, and the food is out of this world! So tasty! I had biscuits and gravy with sausage and grits. Everything was so good. Yummy! read more

*Pandemic Review* We rocked the million dollar bacon, Brie appetizer and the corned beef hash for brunch today and it was wonderful. We were able to eat inside with awesome social distancing and our waitress, Jenna, was happy and fun to talk with. Masks on everyone and we were able to join the digital waitlist and rolled EXACTLY into our seat with zero waiting. Great experience and our 10 year old kiddo was very happy as well! read more
